I don't know about you, but I like to kick off my weekends with creepy cosplay, Metroidvania adventure, and science. Luckily, this week's Link Dump Friday has all three!

Who doesn't like a good animal hybrid? Especially that of the impossible type! One day in the distant past, mankind looked at centaurs with a sort of mystified awe. And today we gaze upon the Goaticorn and wonder "Can I get one of those IRL pls?"

This week on Link Dump Friday, we set sail for IndieGoGo where we discover two very intriguing projects... one a sequel to a 2008 indie RPG, and another a fur-filled horror puzzle adventure set in deep space.

- • King Oddball
- • Dr. Stanley's House
It's backwards day on Mobile Monday! Instead of telling you about portable gaming's goings on, we're going to analyze historical examples of decidedly non-portable games. Did you know that Stonehenge is actually a massive in-progress game of tic-tac-toe? Or that the pyramids are the only remaining pieces of a game of chess? Your move, gargantuan space aliens.
Games Featured:
- • Hotline Miami
- • Dreadline
- • Fez
- • Dungelot
Coming up in 2013. A game with a hat the Doctor would approve of, and monstrous time-traveling mayhem... that the Doctor probably would NOT approve of, but he's not here right now, is he? Also: Hotline Miami gets evidence as to why it could never have been a text adventure, and an effortlessly addictive free casual roguelike gets an update.
Games Featured:
- • Touch Detective
- • Sprinkle 2
- • Mew-Genics
Well, so much for 2012. Did you join the gym like you promised yourself you'd do? Finish that novel you were working on? Paint the house? Be nicer to strangers? Stop watching Jersey Shore reruns?

Games Featured:
- • Game of Thrones
- • Kung Fu FIGHT
Hey there. How would you like a mobile game based on Game of Thrones? Well, you might just get it! Or you might not, it all depends on how far off the rumor mill is turning. As long as there's a mini-game centered around dropping dung on Joffrey, we'll consider it a success.

Beginning your weekly journey to continued financial/scholastic success, might we suggest you take a peek at what games are currently brewing for your future enjoyment?

Games Featured:
- • Don't Look Back
- • Granny Smith
- • Star Command
Here's something to mull over as your workweek begins: Don't Look Back, a free mobile release from Terry Cavanagh, does exactly what its name forbids by being a port of a 2009 browser game. Granny Smith is both a granny and a member of the Smith family, whereas Star Command actually lets you command stars—wait, it's a starship commanding game? Oh. Well. Then. Nevermind!
Games Featured:

What? Sad news on a Mobile Monday? Sad indeed, fellow gamers. But not without a couple of shots of happy, too. In fact, we'll even argue that the happiness outweighs the sadness, with respective scores of 1.64 and 1.47 as measured on the Jack McBrayer Smile Scale!

Anybody up for some mobile teasing? A fresh batch of news for a fresh week (and month!), just enough details to get you excited for the future but not so much that you'll feel like you know it all. It's a delicate balance to taunt the internet reader, isn't it?

Games Featured:
- • Field Runners 2 HD
- • DOOORS
- • The Tiny Bang Story
HD this and updated that! Back in my day, we had to play the game as it was released and like it. Game-crashing bug? Deal with it. And we did. Why, sometimes we had to reprogram our own games while we were playing them. And did I mention we didn't have hands then, either? It's true...

According to this week's Mobile Monday, horses wear tuxedos, pigs are sinister, and pirates are a thing of nightmares.

Games Featured:
- • Bag It!
- • Gasketball
- • Mega Man Xover
Ok, ok, let's get this out in the open right now. There's a new Mega Man game coming to iOS. It's not what you think by a longshot, but its name is just... well it's atrocious.

- • Mercenary Kings

So, how's your summer going? If it's not summer where you live, we're coming over for a few weeks. Whatever it takes to get away from this heat.

One of the big controversies surrounding mobile games these days is social media integration. On the one hand, it allows people to share games with friends while helping to promote them, but on the other, we're perfectly capable of telling our pals about good games on our own!
